Robbing Bryce Harper of a three run homer in the top of the 1st. Stealing two bases on one play for only the 11th time in MLB history. And to top it off, knocking a three run homer into the monster seats to give the Red Sox the lead for good. That’s one hell of a home opener for a guy who doesn’t turn 23 until October, and Mookie Betts is officially one of the most exciting Red Sox players to come along in a long time. The Sox are 5-2, and a large part of that success belongs to Betts and his infectious energy. He’s the rare combination of incredible athletic ability and on point baseball instincts, and he’s leading this Red Sox team in the right direction. We’ve still got a lot of baseball to go, but I’m looking forward to watching Mookie Betts for a long time to come.
